Personally I find zeroconf to be a pain. ROX Pager mostly uses the pager
code provided by the libwnck library. And tasktray uses the libwnck
python bindings from gnome-python-desktop.

I suspect the problem is between openbox and libwnck rather than ROX.
Even with libwnck 2.19.2 and openbox 3.3.991 the same problems are
occuring.

I another time I would have attempted to find the problem. But now
with kids, work and university, I find very little time for this sort of
stuff :(
